In
the emptiness of my room
Not just there but everywhere else there’s gloom
It surrounds me and with it, it carries despair
The anguish I feel………I am afraid I may not forbear
Then I remember the saying ‘an empty mind is a devil’s
workshop”
I
wake myself up, look around for something to do
I try everything, even look up in the dictionary
Then I finally make a breakthrough
I came across a word that had me so wary
‘VOLUNTEER’ its not a word I’ve never heard before
I
regroup all my courage and all my drive
I try to look around; try to do something, I strive
At the same time I get all jumpy and cold feet
Some part of me even wants to retreat
But I compose myself persuading myself; there’s nothing to
fear
I
recuperate yet again and drench myself with hope
Deep inside I feel I can do it, find a way to cope
Little things I can do like lending an ear
A tiny thing to do, to some it may appear
But I’ve got to start somewhere, and that alone bears so much.
